地道美语听力播客598:修理汽车

Mechanic: Hi, I'm the mechanic. What can I do for you?

梅凯尼克：嗨，我是梅凯尼克，有什么需要帮忙的吗?

Amy: My car is making a very weird noise. It sounds like this: gulug, gulug, gulug...

艾米：我的车发出一种怪异的声音，它发出的声音就像：咕噜，咕噜，咕噜......

Mechanic: Hm, that doesn't sound good. Where is it coming from?

梅凯尼克：嗯，这声音听起来不对劲，这声音是从那来的?

Amy: I'm not sure. When I'm in the car, it sounds like it's coming from the engine, but when I get out of the car, it sounds like it's coming from directly under the trunk, maybe the muffler?

艾米：我不确定，当我在车上时，它的声音听起来像来自发动机，但当我下车后，它听起来像直接来自汽车后备箱，可能是消音器?

Mechanic: That's not a noise a muffler would make. Let me take a look. Can you start the car and pop the hood?

梅凯尼克：这不是消音器发出的声音。让我看一下，你可以发动汽车，打开引擎盖吗?

Amy: Sure.

艾米：可以。

Mechanic: Well, I don't hear the sound right now, but your battery needs replacing, you have a coolant leak, your carburetor needs adjusting, and your spark plugs are shot. I need to look under the car.

梅凯尼克：好，我现在听不见声音，但你需要更换电池，你的冷却液泄漏，化油器需要调整，你的打火塞也坏了，我需要看一看车底。

Amy: Okay, go ahead.

艾米：好的，看吧!

Mechanic: Your brake pads need replacing and your tires need balancing.

梅凯尼克：你的刹车片需要换了，你的轮胎需要调整。

Amy: But are any of those problems causing that horrible noise?

艾米：但是是这些问题引发的噪音吗?

Mechanic: I don't know. I don't hear the noise right now, so it's hard to tell. But that's all work you need to have done on this car anyway for it to run right. It's only a matter of time before your car stops working if you don't take care of those problems.

梅凯尼克：我不知道，我现在听不到那个声音了，所以很难判断。但是对这个车你所需要做的这些无论如何让都会是它正常运行起来的。如果你不处理好这些问题，那么你的车不再运转只是时间问题。

Amy: I come in with one problem and you find 10 others. I guess you should go ahead. What else can I do?

艾米：我来这是因为一个毛病，结果你给我找出10个问题，我想你应该按你说的去修理，我还可以做什么呢?

Mechanic: Um, buy a bus pass?

梅凯尼克：额，买一张公交卡?
